Ken,
I am pleased that you are posting. Two questions:
How would you compare linen belts with leather belts?
You did a very well done video on setting the angle on a belt grinder to make the knife horizontal and assist in keeping the bevel consistent. I watched your videos several times, but have misplaced the link. Related to this, I have posted several topics here on bessex about converting the Viel and Kalamazoo 1SM belt grinders to variable speed. I like your idea of orienting the belt angle to (example) -15° thus making the knife level. Holding a knife horizontal seems much easier that holding the same knife at fifteen or twenty degrees.
Your help is appreciated.
